    "Hey Grace whats up?". A young girl around the age of 14 looks up from her drawing book. The shade from the tree she's under keeping her cool on this warm day. "Oh you know, nothing exciting Jake", "Oh come you must have found something out about whatever that was you where telling me about, ghost's or something" his laugh coming out quick. A small pout makes it way on Grace's face "Hey! It really was but someone stopped it I guess". The teen stands up, notebook in hand, and walks towards her cousin. "Oh yeah, I came to ask you something", A questioning looks plasters the younger girls face, "What?". "Well," he starts sheepishly, "I have some friends that I'm going hunting with this weekend and I was wondering if you wanted to come with us…". Grace starts to answer but the sound of a man yelling from across the field stops her, she flinches and looks down. "I-I have to go but I'll meet you out here tonight to answer…. bye Jacob." The wind blows through her short blonde hair as she runs through the tall grass of the field to her house. Her older cousin watches her go, his green eyes showing worry for the girl. 
    Fear, thats what she feels around him. "What do you think you are doing talking to him girl!". The yelling and quick judgement is what she fears the most. "I- I was j-just talking…" "Yeah talking about running off I bet!! Well then just do it then! Its not like anyone really cares about you, you stupid little girl!" Her young body has the scars from the last 3 years, she does them to herself, her beautiful skin suffering along with her heart and mind. Her father has been like this since her mother died 3 years ago while giving birth, unfortunately the baby died along with her mother. "Just get out of my sight!" The man yells while throwing down the glass he had been drinking out of, the glass shattered every which way making Grace yelp slightly and run to her room locking the door. She throws herself on her bed crying. Surprisingly her father doesn't drink, he has been sober for 9 years. The girl still has memory's from when she was young though, how he would yell and threaten to kill her mother. Her anxiety doesn't let her forget. Grace sits up and wipes her tears away with a sleeved covered arm. "Its okay just calm down" she says between ragged breathes. This is her normal drill. "Take deep breaths" its the only way to keep some form of sanity. "Tonight I'm going to do it….." The girl takes small steps to her closet taking out a bag and throws it on her flannel blanket that covers her bed. "I am going to get away from him, from everything." Her mind wanders as she puts clothes in the bag. Lastly she puts the red and black flannel blanket into the bag, taking a deep breath she opens her window and looks at the setting sun. "I am going to find a better life, I can stay with Jacob for a while." Her blue eyes take one last look at her room before she jumps to the ground and runs to the woods finally leaving the awful life, or so she though.

*DISCLAMIER*
None of this has actually happened to me,
the only true thing is that my father used 
to drink but that is all.
So I finally finished part one!
I shoud have been finising my commisions but I 
write when I am stressed or upset.... in this case
